Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 that I would use the edition update for Windows XP?
Can I use the full Version of Windows 7 to upgrade Windows XP with a custom installation, as I would with Windows 7 Upgrade Edition if I want? (If I decided that I would rather clean the entire hard drive so I can use the full Version of Windows 7 without the need of Windows XP or Vista)
Hello
To upgrade your Windows XP computer to Windows 7, you will need to select custom during installation of Windows 7. A custom installation keeps your programs, files or settings. It is sometimes called a 'clean' for this reason installation.

Can't do the BIOS update for Portégé R500 (PPR50E)
I have a Portege R500 PPR50E with Vista Business pre-installed model. I am wanting to move to Windows 7 and so initially I want to update the BIOS of 1.5 to 1.6. I got the correct file from Toshiba (bios-20080325071859 containing P0058v160.exe), but when I try to run the application, it fails with "this computer is not supported.
I checked several times that I downloaded the file for the R500.Can anyone help?
Hello
That s strange.
Did you change something on you installed Vista?In different cases, the BIOS cannot be updated because some essential tools such as the common modules for Win XP has not been installed.
If you are using vista you don't need common modules but I recommend reinstalling the VAP.
Then you should try to rerun the update of the BIOS.Otherwise use the recovery disk and computer laptop back to factory settings.
After the laptop has been set to the same State as on the first day of purchase, you can run the BIOS update. -
Where and how can I get the latest updates for my HP printer?
HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color multifunction
WIN 7 64 bit
Where and how can I sign up for notification of updates from HP for my all-in-one printer? I think the HP web page is very confusing!
Thank you
Hummer02
At the same time a long time ago there was a way to register for notifications by e-mail of new updates, I have not seen this for years. Many products have an application that can be selected when the drivers are installed to check and install updates regularly.
I prefer to manually verify updates, for your printer, you can get updates from HP here. I see there was a relatively recent firmware update it.

I saw that you can right click on each module in the Add-ons Manager to search for an update on this specific point, but does not search the updates on the whole as before 4? (at least I remember in 3.x I could search for updates on the whole...)
In the view of the modules, click on the symbol "gear" to the left of the search box.

Photo Viewer is part & parcel of your operating system (Windows 7). I never saw an update to the photo viewer.

Can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop?
Original title: windows 8.
Last year, I bought a new desktop computer Acer with windows 8 and installed my windows professional 8.1 on it!
My question is! can I recover my old version of windows on the computer and use it on my old laptop because it was purchased with this PC AND how I to get it back?
I am braking the rules by doing this? the original key was included with the purchase of my new Acer and I should be able to pick it up and install it on another device?
If I can't, I'll have to buy a new one to upgrade my old windows laptop 7. I'm trying to save money! That's why I ask this question.
Roger
No, you cannot transfer the original license that is pre-installed on your Acer, it relates to it because it is an OEM license.
The OEM of Windows 8 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:
-OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft
-OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on
-OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard
-OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system
What is OEM software? :

I bought a full version of Windows 7 Professional to install on my Vista Home Premium computer. I tried to reformat my Vista drive in a right click on the C drive and select "format", but I get a message that I can not format this drive. Help!
Thank you
DarleneHere is the Vista Forums.
You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.
Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.
At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

Original title: moving from the version of XP Pro to Windows 7 student
If moving from XP Pro student version without WINDVD player for Windows 7 upgrade, it will add third-party programs such as WINDVD to play movies, or if you buy a full version of Windows 7, it contains WINDVD?
Hello
You cannot perform an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 installation. You will need to perform a custom installation or clean installation. You need to install all software from third-party manufacturers after completing one of these facilities.
THIRD WARNING:
Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.Windows 7 is windows media player 12 which can play most media files types.
